How do I delete wireless networks from my iPhone?

I need to delete a couple of wireless networks so they show as unknown and I can reset the security information. Can anyone help?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

You can get rid of those by Resetting Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset.

Reset network settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings remain turned on.

To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove. This also removes other settings or accounts provided by the profile.

You have to reset all network settings.


Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.


As far as I know, you cannot pick and choose which networks to reset. This will require you to re-enter any network passwords, so make sure you have the password ready for the network you are using now.


EDIT: Nevermind.... forgot about "forget this nework!"
